Good morning from beautiful Paris.
Now that I have
gotten that last blog off of my chest, let’s move forward, shall we?
No better way to
start the week than with a Have Some Decorum Home Sale!
This sale is all about black lacquered chinoiserie, gold gilt mirrors and blue and white porcelain chinoiserie because… Why not! I will not rest until each and every one of you has at least one piece. 😀
I thought I would give you a little sneak peek to
whet your whistle. I will also be giving more sneak peeks everyday on Instagram
HERE until the sale starts which is…
Wednesday, May 18 at exactly 10am Pacific
Standard Time!
Let’s start with the black lacquered chinoiserie.
Do you know why I love these pieces so much? Lots of reasons… I love their
elegance… The black lacquer, because they are Napoleon III, the charming scenes
that include cherry blossoms, birds, weeping willows, and the imperial look of
the Chinamen, women, and children… And the colors! Black, gold, persimmon,
ivory, and the occasional pink, turquoise, or sage green. I mean, what's not to
love. Some of the pieces for Wednesday’s sale include jewelry boxes, flower
vases, match boxes, trays, and trinket boxes. Let's take a look…
Next up, my beloved gold gilt mirrors. This sale
has two of my favorites… The sunburst mirrors. There are two available and if
you get to the sale fast enough you can purchase two so you will have a pair…
Which is golden. A pair! Do you remember the blog I did about the Victoria
Press auction? If not, check it out HERE. One of my favorite rooms was the room
that she had with the gigantic sunburst on the ceiling. Look look look…
This is what you could do with the sunburst
mirrors that will be available on the shop Wednesday if you don't want to use
them in the traditional sense, don't you think! Fabulous! I would even drop a chandelier out of it like my friend Nancy did. But they would still
look great as mirrors too!
I also have a very special gilt OWL mirror that
is so charming I could die… Take a look!
As always, I have a drop dead gorgeous collection
of blue and white Chinese porcelain! Some of your favorites are back in stock
as well as some new pieces… Vases, jars, lamps, orchid pots, and more. Take a
look…
The other categories will be open on the shop as
well… Baskets, lamps, porcelain flowers, accessories, books, etc!
The shop opens back up Wednesday, May 18
at exactly 10am Pacific Standard Time!

more sneak peeks!
Love to all of you!
